Raw Sugar is a type of sugar that undergoes minimal processing, making it less refined compared to other types of sugar such as white sugar or granulated sugar. The term “Raw Sugar” refers to sugar that has been extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets and has undergone basic processing steps but has not undergone extensive refining or purification processes. Raw Sugar with an ICUMSA 600-1200 rating is often used in various food and beverage applications. It can be further processed or refined to produce white sugar, brown sugar, or specialty sugars. Raw Sugar is commonly used in the production of certain types of molasses, rum, and other alcoholic beverages. It can also be found in some baked goods, sauces, and confectionery products where a slightly darker color and a more robust flavor are desired. It’s important to note that Raw Sugar, including ICUMSA 600-1200, still contains natural molasses, minerals, and other trace elements that are removed during the refining process. As a result, it may have a slightly different taste and nutritional profile compared to highly refined white sugar. Raw Sugar is sometimes considered a healthier alternative to refined sugar because it retains some of the natural compounds found in sugarcane or sugar beets.
